Argentina - Humahuaca, Monumento a los Héroes de la Independencia
Humahuaca is a small town located in the colourful Quebrada de Humahuaca and not that far from the border with Bolivia. Near the main square - located on a hill - it features its landmark: the Monumento a los Héroes de la Independencia. This “Heroes of the Independence Monument” is an imposing sculpture group – work of Ernesto Soto Avendaño - was built to pay homage to the Northern Argentinian Army that fought a total of fourteen battles in Humahuaca during Argentine War of Independence (1819 – 1818).
The monument (1950) is made from over 70 tons of bronze and represents the image of indigenous Pedro Socompa, who brought the news of independence. Others believe it’s actually Diego Viltipoco, the indigenous chief, who aided General Belgrano during the war.
One can reach the monument by climbing a rather steep stairs. From the top one has a splendid panoramic view of Humahuaca and the surrounding mountains.
